Chapter 388 What does the demon want most
?
The wheels rolled, and the black carriage quickly drove away from the palace gate and headed straight for a mansion in the north of the city.
And there lived Yang Liushi, who had just moved out of the small house.
Wei Changtian did not go home in the middle of the night and suddenly ran to find the latter, of course it was not for the purpose of "exchanging feelings" or anything like that.
He was going to meet someone else.
It was the Demon King Qingxian who had been invited to Shuzhou City by him.
Wei Changtian naturally had his own considerations for inviting Qingxian.
The main purpose is to fill the gap in combat power after Qin Zhengqiu left.
You must know that ever since the number one person on the black list left without saying goodbye, there has not been a single second-grade master in the entire Shuzhou.
Although this was the case for most of the prefectures and counties in Daning, it was still too shabby for the already "independent" "Kingdom of Shu".
More importantly, without the second-grade skill, Ning Yuke’s safety cannot be well protected.
Although five or six third-grade soldiers are almost equivalent to one second-grade soldier, there are only so many third-grade soldiers that Wei Changtian can mobilize now. He can't have a group of people surrounding Ning Yuke every day.
But if she was left alone and Ning Yongnian carried out some "beheading operation", Ning Yuke would probably become the shortest-lived empress in the history of Daning.
I am in a dilemma.
So after thinking it over, Wei Changtian decided to ask Qingxian for help.
He originally just wanted to let the latter serve as Ning Yuke's bodyguard temporarily. After all, the two sides had a good relationship before, and as long as the conditions were sufficient, there should be no problem.
But now the imminent war has given Wei Changtian a bolder idea.
He wanted to accomplish the goal of "building a new Shu army" through Qingxian, or in other words, through the countless monsters in the Ten Thousand Mountains.
The hour of Hai.
"Sir, why are you here suddenly?"
Yang Liushi, wearing plain clothes and holding a small lantern, followed Wei Changtian into the courtyard and asked in confusion, "What happened?"
"Well, Ning Yongnian has already ordered troops to quell the rebellion."
Wei Changtian rarely hid anything from Yang Liushi, and it was the same now: "So I thought of coming to Senior Qingxian to discuss it."
"Ah? So fast?"
Just like Wei Changtian's reaction at that time, Yang Liushi also frowned suddenly at this time: "How long will it take to arrive?"
"One and a half months at most."
"How many people?"
"Three hundred thousand."
"this"
A hint of worry flashed across her beautiful face that was coveted by countless men in the world.
Perhaps because foxes are naturally intelligent, Yang Liushi has always been the most calculating one among all Wei Changtian's women.
So she quickly figured out the current situation.
"Sir, the Shuzhou army has absolutely no chance of winning right now."
"Oh, I know."
Wei Changtian sighed softly: "That's why I'm so anxious to come to see your demon king."
“.”
In an instant, Yang Liushi seemed to understand something.
But she didn't say it, she just moved the lantern to her left hand, and then used her right hand to gently brush off the dust on Wei Changtian's clothes.
"Sir, do you know what we demons want most?"
"Um?"
Faced with this somewhat irrelevant question, Wei Changtian was stunned at first, but he quickly understood the meaning of Yang Liu's poem.
If I want Qingxian's help, I must give him benefits.
Yang Liushi is now reminding herself what conditions are needed to impress Qingxian.
"What is it?"
Wei Changtian slowly stopped and his expression became serious.
But Yang Liushi smiled gently at this moment.
"Sir, I have told you this before."
"Told me."
The red light of the lantern was steady and quiet, and Wei Changtian remembered a sentence almost instantly.
Yang Liushi had indeed said this to herself, and Yunlian, the fish demon, had also said this to Wu Tianqing.
yes!
Qingxian would definitely not be interested in any magical weapons or rare treasures, but she should be tempted by this one.
That’s the taste of love, hate, and vengeance in this world . “I understand.”
After walking for more than a hundred steps under the guidance of Yang Liushi, Wei Changtian soon met the "neither male nor female" demon king in a quiet room.
Although he had seen her several times before, after more than half a year, Wei Changtian was still stunned for a moment by Qing Xian's fairy-like appearance.
"Ahem, nice to meet you, Master Demon King."
With a dry cough, Wei Changtian withdrew his thoughts, bowed slightly to Qingxian, and Yang Liushi also quietly left the room.
There were only two people left in the cold candlelight, but who would have thought that Qingxian's first words would be "raise an army to hold the culprit accountable."
"Master Wei, when you and Patriarch Qin went to the Shiwan Mountains, didn't you tell me that you wanted to take Liu Shi as your concubine?"
"At that time, you two also took away dozens of treasures from me."
"How come it's been more than half a year, and Master Wei hasn't fulfilled his promise yet?"
"this"
Wei Changtian wondered why they were forcing him to get married all of a sudden, but he looked embarrassed.
"Your Excellency the Demon King, you may not know that I have been in Dafeng for the past six months and just returned to Shuzhou a few days ago."
"Of course, no matter what, I feel guilty towards Liu Shi. I hope that Lord Monster King will forgive me."
"I will definitely put this matter on the agenda as soon as possible!"
"Humph, it's okay if you know you're wrong."
He snorted softly, and his expression softened a little.
Qing Xian knew that Wei Changtian had not invited him to Shuzhou City to be a "witness" or something like that, so he did not continue the topic and asked directly:
"Okay, what do you need my help with? Tell me."
"yes."
Nodding, Wei Changtian "very consciously" sat down opposite Qingxian.
He didn't waste any time and directly explained to Qingxian in detail the "three major demands" that he had thought of a long time ago.
1. Qingxian himself will serve as Ning Yuke's "bodyguard" for as long as possible.
2. Borrow 10,000 monsters from the Ten Thousand Mountains, half of which can run on the ground and half of which can fly in the sky, to temporarily serve as mounts for 10,000 elite Shu troops and form a "human-monster special forces."
3. After the imperial court's army arrived in Shuzhou to suppress the rebellion, Shiwan Dashan, which was located on their "rear route", had to cooperate with the Shu army to "send troops" to fight against the "foreign enemies".
“.”
"Master Demon King, that's it."
After making the three "simple" requests, Wei Changtian stopped talking and just observed Qing Xian's reaction.
The latter's expression now was no longer one of surprise or not, it was simply the look of someone who had heard some incredible story.
"Master Wei."
After a long silence, seeing that Wei Changtian was indeed not joking, Qing Xian finally asked with a sneer, "Ning Yongnian is going to send troops to attack Shuzhou. What does this have to do with me?"
"No."
Wei Changtian did not force any of those "lips and teeth are interdependent" stories, and answered very straightforwardly.
He even took the initiative to add on Qingxian's behalf: "It has nothing to do with the demons in the Shiwan Mountains."
“.”
Such an unexpected answer really surprised Qingxian.
But she quickly shook her head and asked again: "Since it doesn't matter, why should I help you?"
"Of course not the White Gang."
Wei Changtian leaned forward slightly: "Master Demon King, I know that each of these three is very important."
"So the price I can pay for this is naturally extraordinary."
"Haha, I can't think of anything you can have that is equivalent to these three."
With a light laugh, Qing Xian obviously scoffed at Wei Changtian's words.
Indeed, judging from the value of these three conditions alone, even if the entire Shuzhou was given to Qingxian, the latter might not agree.
What's more, it is impossible for Wei Changtian to give Shuzhou away.
But "Master Demon King."
With a hint of a smile on his face, Wei Changtian's expression did not change.
He just looked at Qing Xian, and then slowly said, "I have never understood why the demons always like to run to human cities even though they know their lives are in danger."
"But I understood it after I met Liu Shi."
"It turns out that demons are just like humans. They also want to experience the various aspects of this world."
"It's a pity that humans and monsters are not of the same kind after all, so most people still can't tolerate monsters living around them. In our words, it's like "I won't allow others to snore beside my bed."
"But I'm different. I always think that there's no difference between humans and monsters."
"Also, I can make hundreds of millions of people in Shuzhou share the same ideas as me."
"so."
After a pause, Wei Changtian smiled and gently completed the conditions he had offered in front of Qing Xian's shocked gaze.
"Master Demon King, if you help me save Shuzhou."
"Then Shuzhou will be the first place in the world where humans and monsters can coexist peacefully."
"I can even help you build a new city within Shuzhou, a new city where you don't have to worry about anything, but still has all kinds of things in this world."
"how?"
